I founded Jobbatical in 2014 to connect people with inspiring jobs abroad. In four years, we moved people from 53 countries to 37 different destinations. Each career journey was a step closer to a world where people and ideas move freely. While we were dreaming of a more open world, there was a monster under the bed: immigration. Smart employers love the idea of hiring from abroad. But confusing, often seemingly impossible paperwork is stopping perfect hires from happening. Which is ridiculous. And the opposite of thinking beyond borders. So Jobbatical started doing immigration. We got really good at it and realized that if we focused all our efforts on our immigration platform, we could help more people. Jobbatical today is the go-to immigration partner for tech startups and traditional companies alike. We free up time for employers to make more hires. Better hires. International hires—confidently, without having to fear the immigration monster. My team and I have seen firsthand that the world simply works better when it works together. We’re ready to play our part in making that happen.
